President Putin Is A Phenomenon While Trump Is A Cartoon Character- Diego Maradona

Legendary Argentinian footballer, Diego
Maradona, has described Russian
President Vladimir Putin as a
‘phenomenon’ who can bring peace to
many in the world, while US leader Donald
Trump is a ‘cartoon character’, who can’t
be treated seriously, according to him.




The controversial football legend made the
remarks while speaking to journalists in
Moscow on Friday.



According to him, “I think that after Hugo
Chavez and Fidel Castro, Putin – together
with [Ariel] Ortega and Evo [Morales],represent the ‘top league” of political
leaders.



Putin is a man who can bring peace to
many in this world,” he added, describing
the Russian leader as “a phenomenon;
simply a phenomenon.”



On US President Trump, who he doesn’t
regard among the top elite, he said:
“For
me, he’s more of a comic.”



“He’s like a cartoon to me, if we talk
about politics… Every time I see him
on TV, I switch the channel,” he
added.




Speaking on US dominant force in the
international arena, the 56-year-old
footballer said:



“One shouldn’t forget
about Russia, China, about North Korea.

The US isn’t the county sheriff anymore.



We’ll find a gun to match the one they
have,” he said.



Maradona stressed that no one wants
war, but “when you see such cartoon
characters like Trump, you begin thinking
that if such a man takes it into his head
we may all become enemies.”




Latin America is feeling “increasing
pressure from the right. By right, I mean
the US,” which is bad for the continent, he
said.




“The right is stronger now. The
right has more money. They can
buy a lot of things.



And I’m
outraged because of it – as under
previous presidents, the people at
least had food, but now in
Argentina, there are people who
are starving.

It’s sad.

Very sad.


And
it’s not only Argentina. Brazil, as
well,” he said.

Diego Maradona is universally regarded as
one of the greatest players in the history
of football
